Kathy,
Good luck tomorrow! But after going through your mastectomy and DIEP, the chemo should be very manageable. I had the DIEP, bilat mastectomy, Oncotype and similar dx to yo.
Soccermom also had the DIEP and she experienced a staph infection also. She is done now and is doing great.
Let me know if I can be of any help.
Maryanne
